What is the second best way to precision cut cardboard

Do you have a shop press? you can make your own die and press it.

if you don’t have a press, you can make one with auto jacks from harbor freight or the pick-n-pull, like this guy did for pressing apples:

My parents have a friend who built one like this, and they press apples with it every year.
(edit: the one my parents’ friend built uses a bottle-jack)
